Anyone saying we will easily stay up is having a laugh. Each win is proving to be really hard work.
The January signings are proving to be a huge upgrade. Well done to Jones and the backroom team.
Hoping we see Dykes and Clarke next season (wasting our time dreaming of Chambers signing).

Uboat said:Imagine living with Nathan Jones. I bet he can’t even win a game of Connect 4 without losing his shit.
"We're on the back of a few poor games of Ludo whereas the kids are established Connect 4 players and have been for years and that showed tonight. But hang in there as we're an honest bunch of parlour game players and i expect that to show at snakes n ladders on Saturday".10 -

Still very pleased with what I saw last night, and to be fair the last 3 games.
That spark we lost after a really good start to the season is back and you get the feeling each one of the lads out there last night gives a shit about this club and keeping us up.
Dykes is a good player, works so hard and has that ability to do 1 or 2 really important pieces of link up play a match that lead to really good chances.
Coady has added some genuine class in to our midfield. Yea he's not as mobile as he used to be, but he marshalls the back four brilliantly and shows genuine class on the ball. Also doesn't shut up organising and motivating. Brilliant signing.
Doch is sometimes hilariously bad on the ball, but off it is one of the best I've seen for a long long time. He's a huge part of the reason Coady has been so effective.
The wing backs are a revelation. Who knew you need actual wing backs to play wing back. It helps they're both very good players.
Amari Bell is really really good at football. Our defensive balance is there when he plays. you also feel like he's totally bought in to the Charlton way!
It just feels like the old battling Charlton is back. Long way to go but it's in our hands.19 -

Irrelevant now, but goal should have been disallowed. Dykes was well offside from the goal kick he flicked on to TC.Noticed numerous times our strikers at goal kicks and free kicks stayed beyond their defensive line with the expectation the defenders will drop back. Didn’t always happen at time of kick.10

Not really mate? Players and managers are professional sportsmen, paid a lot of money by people who watch and TV revenue.Desmond Oulu said:I don't really get the "Jones giving some back is unprofessional" comments. In how many other professions do you have a few thousand people chanting that you're a c*nt? None. So the normal rules of professionalism don't apply.
They should rise above it, set the standards and not get involved in all that?
Whilst I appreciate Jones' passion and energy - a smile and a quick wave at their end was all that was needed. Job done, then come and let loose with our fans before going down the tunnel?
The comparison with Appleton is laughable though!0 -
Oh no, the files have been moved here! The fiasco continues. Will AFKA Admit Fault1

Interesting. I didn't notice any protests from them. Maybe I was just too busy celebrating.AFKABartram said:Irrelevant now, but goal should have been disallowed.

Coady is our modern-day, midfield version of Paul Miller. Not the best, not at all quick, moderate/ok in the air but hugely experienced and totally unfazed by opposition/circumstances. He's a player that can rise above the situation and keep others at it. Not every club has players like that.9goalswentpastperry said:
Whilst I know what you mean, it's fair to say he's not quietly going about his business. I sit at the back of the West Upper and I could hear him keeping up a running commentary throughout the game. He's been an absolute revelation in every aspect.TheHerminator said:Wing backs that are actual wing backs have changed this team totally.
Coady quietly going about his work and shoring up that area in front of the defence.Proper team again. Lovely3 -
Haha, having played the game for 30 years I know absolute f*** all about football it seems 🤣🙈26

If it helps I didn't know this either. You learn something new everyday.AFKABartram said:Haha, having played the game for 30 years I know absolute f*** all about football it seems 🤣🙈5 -

I’m going to delete all the replies, change the original post user name to Leuth, then reply saying you can’t be offside from a goal kick Leuth36

That's the spirit. All jokes aside its good no weekend game nowcantersaddick said:Worried we are relying on a fairly small group of players to get us through. Jones clearly doesn't fancy a few onnthe bench and we are at risk of running some of our more injury prone players into the ground. A few go down injured and we are bang in trouble again.0 -
Towards the end of a game there was a great block on the edge of our area .I couldnt see immediately who it was that put the block in. When the melee cleared last man up was Dykes …. He gave 100 percent all game I thought plus the flick for the goal.2

TC does it for the second ball all the time, he's not expecting the defensive line to drop back before the free kick is taken but it just means he's harder to pick up.AFKABartram said:Irrelevant now, but goal should have been disallowed.

Guy in front of me screams at him to drop back as if TC doesn't realise he's 20 metres offside, drives me nuts8 -
I reckon he is a prem player soon Golfie? One more season at this level, maybe on loan with us, but forget buying him. 20 mill plus!golfaddick said:

Can a goalkeeper be offside from a goal kick ?5

It's cool. You just wanted to balance out Golfie's glowing and positive post to keep Charltonlife interested in the next episode!AFKABartram said:Haha, having played the game for 30 years I know absolute f*** all about football it seems 🤣🙈
Time for you to admit now, just how many years you've groaned at goal kicks, "Get onside, FFS!"?
